I’m not much of a salsa verde person. And I can’t tell the difference between a good or bad salsa verde (I’m more of a tomato-base salsa kinda gal). Since it’s made from scratch, I’m just going to assume it’s good. The only reason I made it is for a stew dish (recipe to come soon) and for snacking while I was cooking. Initially I thought the salsa was just OK. But it tasted better as it ages.
I came across this recipe on the back of my chili bottle. It was a fairly easy recipe to make and with so little ingredients so I made it over the weekend. Although I’m not a fan of processed cheese, this was quite tasty. My family came by and we all snacked on this dip. My nephew LOVED it! He’s a cheese lover so what’s not to like? This dip is perfect for those casual impromptu entertaining and great for when you’re watching a game. Bust open a bottle of beer and it’s all good!
Last night, we had Shrimp Onion and Sweet Pepper Quesadillas for dinner. I made this salsa mainly because I think mango pairs so well with shrimp than your typical tomato salsa. Not to mention how cheerful it looked.
This pico de gallo was included in the three meat chili nachos we had a couple of nights ago. Feel free to sprinkle it on top of your nachos or have it with tortilla chips. Yum!
